Artist Pamela Denise will take and print out an A4 black and white head shot. Using tracing paper, you’ll plot the shapes of your face and then transfer them to heavy artist quality paper. Deciding on the colour scheme can be intuitive or apply classic colour theory.  Some principles will be explained.   

Study the face you know so well and use colour to tell the story. Suitable for all ages and abilities. Rewarding for beginners and plenty of scope for the experienced artist. If you have coloured pencils or aquarelles (watercolour pencils), please bring them for your personal use. All papers supplied.
